PvP leveling

Feels like I’ve been stuck on 20 forever. With that being said I’m not a hardcore PvPer by any means.
I usually hit Cyrodiil for
1. Transmute Crystals
2. . The Golden
3. AP
4. Events
5. Purge,Vigor,caltrops
6. If I just wanna Zerg a bit.

But my goal is the Legate Black Dye.

I have no problem putting the time in to get it , just looking for tips on best way to go about it.

Hang in there! Do all of the things mentioned, show up to every possible fight you can too. Defend keeps. Help take keeps etc. During downtime, repair your keeps. I used to think I would never ever reach Legate and I am now past it and decided my next PvP goal is to hit AR 50. Its going to take a long time lol. But, this wasn't something I ever expected to do back in the early days, so I'm excited about it.

Thatlink says that you level up in ranks in Alliance War (for titles and skill points) at the same time you level up in the associated skill lines. This doesn't seem to match my recent experience, which is why I was accusing that page of no longer being current.
